1973 Topps Baseball Cards

The 1973 Topps set was reduced to 660 standard-size cards and was the last vintage baseball card set issued in series throughout the season.Reduced by 127 cards from the previous year, the 1973 Topps set has fewer no-name players and had less subsets. The League Leaders (#61 - #68) was combined to show the leaders of both leagues, and the Playoff Highlight cards (#201 and #202) no longer features each game.

The Rookie Stars (#601 to #616) added a third player to the card and were grouped by position, instead of by team. By having players from 3 teams on the same card, these cards are part of 3 different team sets. Further increasing the scarcity and cost was that the Rookie Cards were issued in the 7th Series.
